Summary

About Goldendoodle
Goldendoodle: friendly, people‑oriented cross of Golden Retriever and Poodle, usually medium–large and athletic. Intelligent and highly trainable, it suits active families and often excels as a therapy dog. Coat is wavy to curly with low shedding but needs frequent grooming and care.
About Whippet
Medium sighthound combining racing speed with calm companionship. Sleek, lean and Greyhound‑like, with a short, easy‑care coat but little weather protection. Sensitive, gentle and people‑oriented, it needs kind training, safe chances to sprint, soft warm bedding and a stable, quiet home.
